Security

Access controls and best practices for safer operations

Security Philosophy

Operational safety and account security

Spectops is designed for high-impact operational changes. Security is not only about authentication; it is also about preventing accidental mistakes during incidents.

  • Safety-first policy: whitelist-first precedence and clear rules of engagement.
  • Visibility: know what changed, when, and by whom.
  • Least privilege: use scopes and access controls for automation.

Account Hardening

Recommended settings for operators

  • Enable 2FA: prefer TOTP where available; keep recovery codes safe.
  • Use strong passwords: long, unique, and managed by a password manager.
  • Restrict login IPs: limit access to trusted networks when possible.
  • Review active sessions: revoke old sessions after staff changes or incidents.

Automation Security

API keys and webhooks

  • Scope API keys: grant only the permissions needed by a tool or workflow.
  • Rotate keys: treat keys as secrets and rotate on schedule or after any exposure.
  • Restrict by IP where possible: reduce blast radius for automation credentials.
  • Webhook hygiene: validate payloads and handle retries safely on your side.
